9:06 p.m. – Belgians abroad – Lukaku scores for his comeback and helps Chelsea win

Back after his positive test for the coronavirus, Romelu Lukaku distinguished himself with Chelsea in the Blues’ 1-3 victory against Aston Villa in the context of the 19th day of the Premier League. Back at half-time, the Red Devil waited only eleven minutes before shaking the nets and allowing his team to race to victory.Romelu Lukaku reassured him about his state of health a few days ago and he proved on Sunday that he was well recovered from his positive test for the coronavirus. Bad news that had kept him away from the field during the last three meetings of the Blues. Once again fit for service, the former Anderlecht player started the game on the bench and saw his team rally at half-time with a score of parity after the self-goal of Reece James (28th, 1-0) and the penalty by Jorginho (34th, 1-1). Having entered the game at rest, Lukaku justified the choice of his coach barely 11 minutes later by winning a header over a cross from Callum Hudson-Odoi (56th, 1-2). The Blues fixed the final score in stoppage time with a new penalty from the Italian Jorginho (90 + 3, 1-3). In the standings, Chelsea and Lukaku, 3rd with 41 points, are tied with Liverpool, who have one game less. (Belga)
